Chinese Tea Caffeine Chart
Browse 136 tea records and understand the limits of their caffeine labels. This dataset contains no product-specific caffeine measurements. Its labels cannot tell you the dose in a brewed cup or whether a tea will affect your sleep.
What the Evidence Can Tell You
Testing of commercial white, green, and black teas found overlapping caffeine levels. Tea color alone did not establish a reliable ranking. Product, leaf amount, water volume, temperature, and infusion time matter. That study does not measure the teas listed here or establish a ranking for oolong or pu'er.

If you need a particular caffeine limit, seek product-specific test information for a stated brewing method. Do not use these labels as a dose filter.
